1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the GRES Protocol website at gres.network, the GRES.ALPHA pre-sale, and any related services, documentation, and applications (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing the Services, registering for the GRES.ALPHA pre-sale, or otherwise interacting with the GRES Protocol, you ("you", "user", "participant") confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
2. Eligibility & Geographic Restrictions
You represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years of age and have full legal capacity to enter into binding agreements in your jurisdiction.
- You are not a US Citizen, US resident, or US Person as defined under SEC Rule 902(k) of Regulation S, nor are you located in the United States or its territories.
- You are not a resident of any jurisdiction where participation in the GRES.ALPHA pre-sale or use of the Services would be unlawful, including jurisdictions subject to international sanctions.
- You are not on any sanctions list maintained by the UN, EU, UK, or any other applicable authority.
3. Nature of GRES.ALPHA
GRES.ALPHA is a utility token deployed on the BASE Layer 2 network. It is engineered to fund the development of the GRES Protocol infrastructure during pre-mainnet phases.
GRES.ALPHA:
- Does not represent equity, debt, fractional ownership, or any other security in the GRES Protocol, the GRES Operator, the GRES Foundation, or any underlying real estate asset.
- Does not entitle holders to dividends, profit-sharing, voting rights, or governance powers in any legal entity.
- Is not a stablecoin, deposit, e-money, or claim on the GRES Foundation's assets.
- Carries utility within the future GRES Platform via the Buyback & Burn mechanism (Floor $0.05, Cap $0.10, funded by 0.5% of transactional volume) and convertibility into non-transferable Platform Credits at Phase 04 mainnet.
For full token economics, see the Digital Assets Paper.
4. No Investment Advice
Nothing on the Services constitutes investment, financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice. The GRES Protocol does not recommend any course of action and makes no representation as to the suitability of GRES.ALPHA for any particular person. You are solely responsible for your own due diligence and for consulting qualified advisors before participating.
5. Forward-Looking Statements
Materials published by the GRES Protocol — including the Whitepaper, Digital Assets Paper, Communication Charts, roadmap, and website content — contain forward-looking statements regarding the planned development of $GRES (the asset-backed mainnet token), the AI-Augmented Oracle, NAV mechanism, governance Foundation, and other Phase 02 to Phase 04 deliverables.
These are design intentions, not delivered features. Outcomes depend on execution, adoption, regulatory developments, and factors outside the GRES Protocol's control. No outcome is guaranteed.
6. Risks — Total Loss Possible
Cryptoasset markets are volatile and largely unregulated. Participation in the GRES.ALPHA pre-sale carries significant risk, including the risk of total loss of capital. Before participating, read and fully understand the Risk Disclosure tab.
7. Taxation
You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes, levies, or duties owed in your jurisdiction in connection with your participation in the GRES.ALPHA pre-sale or use of the Services. The GRES Protocol does not provide tax advice.
8. Intellectual Property
All content, branding, design, code, documentation, and trademarks displayed on the Services are the property of the GRES Protocol or its licensors. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without prior written permission, except as expressly permitted (e.g., sharing public documents with attribution).
9. No Warranties
The Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the GRES Protocol, its affiliates, contributors, advisors, and the future GRES Operator and GRES Foundation entities shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, business opportunity, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Services or participation in the pre-sale.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the GRES Protocol and its affiliates from any claim, demand, loss, or liability arising from your breach of these Terms, your misrepresentation, your violation of applicable law, or your participation in the Services.
12. Changes to Terms
The GRES Protocol may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced via the website or community channels. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are intended to be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the GRES Operator and GRES Foundation are ultimately formed (currently under evaluation, with Spain, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein under consideration). Until formal registration is complete, these Terms shall be interpreted under principles consistent with European Union law and applicable MiCA provisions.

1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how the GRES Protocol ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you interact with the GRES Protocol website at gres.network, participate in the GRES.ALPHA pre-sale, join community programs, or otherwise engage with the Services.
This Policy is designed to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA), and the Brazilian Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), where applicable.
2. Data We Collect
We collect the minimum data necessary to operate the Services. Categories may include:
- Identifiers: email address, wallet address (BASE L2 / EVM), referral codes, optional name.
- Technical data: IP address, browser fingerprint, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, timestamps.
- Geo data: country and region inferred from IP address (used for eligibility screening, not stored beyond aggregate analytics).
- Transactional data: on-chain transactions involving the GRES.ALPHA smart contract, USDC transfers, pre-sale lot purchases.
- Communication data: messages sent through community channels (Telegram, X), email replies, support inquiries.
- Marketing preferences: opt-in to newsletters, community alerts, product updates.
- Future KYC/AML data (Phase 04): when the $GRES mainnet token launches, additional identity verification data may be collected via authorized KYC providers. Not active at present.
3. How We Use Data
- Operate the Services (account access, pre-sale processing, airdrop distribution, referral commission tracking).
- Enforce geographic eligibility (exclusion of US Persons and sanctioned jurisdictions).
- Communicate with you about your participation, updates, and roadmap milestones.
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
- Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and lawful requests.
- Improve the Services through aggregate analytics.
4. Legal Bases (GDPR)
For users in the EU/UK, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:
- Consent — for marketing emails, optional surveys, cookies that are not strictly necessary.
- Contract — to deliver the Services you have requested (pre-sale, airdrop, referral commissions).
- Legitimate interests — security, fraud prevention, service improvement, low-risk analytics.
- Legal obligation — compliance with applicable AML, sanctions, tax, and crypto-asset laws.
5. Sharing & Third Parties
We share data only with vetted processors who provide services to us, including:
- Email infrastructure (transactional and drip messaging).
- Hosting and CDN providers (e.g., Vercel).
- Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics 4, in anonymized mode where possible).
- Blockchain infrastructure providers (RPC nodes, indexers, on-chain data services).
- Customer support tools.
- Legal advisors and auditors, where required.
- Future KYC/AML providers (Phase 04 onward).
We do not sell personal data. We do not share data with advertising networks for cross-context behavioural advertising. Wallet addresses and on-chain transactions are inherently public on the BASE blockchain — this is not data we share, it is data the blockchain records.
6. International Transfers
Our infrastructure providers may process data in jurisdictions outside the EU/UK (notably the United States). Where this occurs, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adequacy decisions, or equivalent safeguards approved by EU and UK data protection authorities.
7. Retention
- Pre-sale and transaction records: minimum 5 years (AML/tax compliance).
- Community membership data: until you request deletion or 2 years of inactivity.
- Marketing preferences: until you opt out.
- Analytics logs: rolling 14–26 months depending on provider.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you.
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erase your data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to legal retention obligations.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting prior lawful processing.
- Opt out of sale or sharing (CCPA / CPRA) — though we do not sell personal data.
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g., AEPD in Spain, ICO in the UK, ANPD in Brazil, your state Attorney General in California).
To exercise any of these rights, contact legal@gres.network. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
9. Cookies
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies, including strictly necessary cookies (session management, security) and optional analytics cookies. Where required by law, we display a cookie banner allowing you to accept, reject, or configure non-essential cookies.
10. Security
We apply industry-standard technical and organizational measures — encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest where applicable, access controls, multi-signature treasury controls (Gnosis Safe), regular security audits of smart contracts, and least-privilege internal practices. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children
The Services are not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced via the website or via email to subscribers. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision.

1. Risk of Total Loss
Cryptoasset markets — including the market for GRES.ALPHA — are volatile, immature, and largely unregulated. The value of GRES.ALPHA may decline rapidly, partially, or entirely. You should not commit funds you cannot afford to lose.
2. Forward-Looking Design
The GRES Protocol describes future products in published materials: the $GRES asset-backed token, the AI-Augmented Oracle, NAV-pegging, the GRES Foundation, the asset onboarding flywheel, and the buyback & burn mechanism with a $0.05 floor and $0.10 cap.
These are design intentions. They are not delivered features. Their realization depends on:
- Successful capital raises across the four GRES.ALPHA lots.
- Completion of the Blueprint phase (4–8 months from Q1 2026, including Tier-1 audit, Foundation formation, EU jurisdictional filings).
- Completion of the Ignition phase (12–18 months) with mainnet deployment, Proof of Deed, ERC-3643 / L3RS-1 compliance, and asset onboarding.
- Regulatory clarity and absence of adverse intervention.
- Sufficient adoption to generate transactional volume for the buyback mechanism.
None of these is guaranteed.
3. Buyback Mechanism Risk
The buyback & burn mechanism is funded by 0.5% of platform transactional volume. The Floor ($0.05) and Cap ($0.10) are engineering targets, not contractual obligations. If transactional volume falls short of projections, the buyback may operate at lower price levels, less frequently, or not at all. The potential 50x return implied by the lowest pre-sale lot ($0.002) and the buyback cap is a theoretical maximum, not a guarantee.
4. Smart Contract Risk
GRES.ALPHA is an ERC-20 contract on the BASE network. Smart contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or unforeseen edge cases. While we engage Tier-1 audits and verify contracts on Basescan, no audit eliminates all risk. Loss of private keys, transaction errors, or interaction with malicious contracts are user-side risks the GRES Protocol cannot mitigate.
5. Liquidity Risk
There may be no active secondary market for GRES.ALPHA prior to mainnet launch. Even after mainnet, secondary liquidity is not guaranteed. You may be unable to sell or transfer tokens at the price you wish, when you wish, or at all.
6. Regulatory Risk
Cryptoasset regulation is evolving rapidly. The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) in the EU and equivalents in other jurisdictions may impose new requirements on the GRES Protocol or on you as a participant. Regulatory action could materially impair the operation of the Services, the value of GRES.ALPHA, or your ability to hold or transfer tokens.
The GRES Protocol is not available to US Persons, residents of sanctioned jurisdictions, or to anyone whose participation would be unlawful.
7. Custody Risk
You are responsible for the secure custody of your wallet and private keys. Loss, theft, or compromise of your wallet means permanent loss of any GRES.ALPHA held therein. The GRES Protocol cannot recover lost wallets or reverse transactions on the BASE blockchain.
8. Execution Risk
The GRES Protocol is led by a founding team and a small operating squad. Execution outcomes depend on the team's ability to deliver the roadmap, raise capital, comply with regulation, hire qualified contributors, and respond to market and technological changes. Failure of execution may result in delays, scope reductions, or termination of the project.
9. Real Estate Market Risk (Phase 04 onward)
Once $GRES is deployed and backed by real estate assets, the value of $GRES will be exposed to property market dynamics — valuations, vacancy, rental income, financing costs, jurisdictional taxation, and macroeconomic cycles. Real estate is illiquid by nature; tokenization does not eliminate underlying asset risk.
10. Technology Risk
The BASE network, EVM tooling, RPC providers, indexers, and dependent infrastructure may experience outages, attacks, or material changes. The AI-Augmented Oracle, when deployed, will depend on AI models, data sources, and statistical methods that may produce errors or biased outputs. We mitigate via human-governed checks, but residual risk remains.
11. Tax Risk
The tax treatment of cryptoassets varies by jurisdiction and is changing. You are responsible for understanding and complying with your own tax obligations. The GRES Protocol does not provide tax advice.
12. Conflicts of Interest
The GRES Operator is for-profit and will earn fees from the platform once operational. The GRES Foundation, once formed, will hold legal title to assets. While the architecture is designed to separate these interests, you should be aware of the structural relationships when evaluating the Project.
13. No Guarantees
Nothing in published materials — including the Whitepaper, Digital Assets Paper, Communication Charts, this page, or any community message — constitutes a promise of return, capital protection, or any specific outcome. Past performance of other protocols, tokens, or markets is not indicative of GRES.ALPHA or $GRES future performance.
